However, the City of Windsor has not answered any of the questions raised by so many qualified, intelligent, well-versed people, that I do not think the Corporation should be adopting over-simplified endorsements.

Further, until now, the City has claimed to be outside of the planning process, that it was the hospital’s planning process. So, where is the accountability to the taxpayers if the City suddenly endorses the planning without addressing their concerns?

We all want a new hospital, but we need the absolute best plan our tax billions can buy. This is the most important project in our City for decades. This motion does not reflect that.

I urge all of our Councillors to reject this motion.

Thank you.

Respectfully, Deborah Buckner
